Hi all, This is a question for Manuel, and FYI for everyone else.
There is still a Makefile target of 'validate' in the BLFS book Makefile and the commands for this have not changed. However, noted in the rendering section of the Makefile, it must first run the Makefile target 'validxml', where the first thing is to echo to STDOUT "Validating the book...". I'm confused as to which target is really validating. Could one or the other be renamed, to avoid the confusion? ========================================================================= And another question (this one because I'm ignorant about Makefiles). Best I can tell from the Makefile this is how rendering is done: 1. Run the Makefile target 'blfs'. 2. The 'blfs' target first calls the 'validxml' and 'profile-html' targets. 3. The 'profile-html' target first calls the 'validxml' target. So, my question is this: how does the 'make' procedure know not to run the 'validxml' target twice, once called by the 'blfs' target and again by the 'profile-html? ========================================================================== And one other question. Shouldn't we clean up the file(s) left in the /tmp directory after the completion of the work? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 07:49:01 up 9 days, 5:40, 1 user, load average: 0.16, 0.66, 0.45 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
